Alecia Ann Harrell
February 20, 1960 – December 30, 2016
Alecia Harrell, 56, of Bryan, passed away on Friday, December 30, 2016, in Bryan. A visitation will be from 5 to 6:30 pm on Wednesday, January 4, 2017, at the funeral home; prayer service will begin at 6:30 pm. Services are in the care of Callaway-Jones Funeral and Cremation Centers-Bryan/College Station, 3001 South College Ave, Bryan, Texas 77801.
Alecia was born to James Arland and Susan Ann Smith Harrell in Okinawa Japan, while her father served in the military. She graduated high school and furthered her studies in college. Alecia grew up in Michigan but moved to Texas in 1980 to begin new adventures. Her love of animals would lead to becoming an Animal Control Officer and Veterinarian Tech for a few years. She was the early version of rescue shelters we have come to know in modern times. She was later employed with the United States Postal Service as a Letter Carrier for a number of years. It was here in the postal service she was loved by everyone, especially for her hugs. Alecia loved her family and friends. She was especially fond of her grandchildren David, Sean, and Seth. Her two daughters were truly her life Stacy and Stephanie; more so towards the end of life where she would need their care the most. A mom gives life to her children and her children return life to her.
She is survived by her daughters Stacy Bean, Stephanie and husband Michael Outland; her parents James Harrell, Susan and husband George Turner; her brothers Jeff Harrell and Greg Harrell; and Larry Bean, father of her daughters; her adored grandchildren David, Sean, and Seth.

I am so sorry for your loss. Although it’s difficult today to see beyond the sorrow, may looking back in memory help comfort you today and beyond tomorrow “May the Almighty God Jehovah (psalms 83:18) and his son Christ Jesus who gives hope and comfort fill your family with all joy and peace by your trusting in him, so that you may “abound in hope” of one day seeing your loved one again. Rom. 15:13.
